Error: BRUSH I²T

On display: 2 slow flashes of brush LED ref. 3

Brush motor overload error.

Check that the brushes and the drive are not rubbing anywhere.

Check brush motor current draw.

Error: SUCTION I²T

On display: 2 slow flashes of suction LED ref. 4

Suction motor overload error.

Check check that the suction motor rotor rotates freely.

Check brush motor current draw.

Error: MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE

On display: fast, continuous flashing of brush LED ref. 3 and suction LED ref. 4 simultaneously.

Power board overheating error.

To restore the functions switch the machine off and wait around 15 minutes until the power board

cools down.

Check brush motor and suction motor current draw.

Error: BRUSH THERMAL PROTECTOR

On display: 4 consecutive flashes of brush LED ref. 3.

Warning: BATTERIES DISCHARGED

On display: 6 consecutive flashes of yellow battery LED ref. 1.

Discharged batteries warning.

Recharge the batteries.

Error: BRUSH MOTOR SHUTDOWN

On display: 11 consecutive flashes of yellow battery LED ref. 1.

Brush motor shut down by power board, due to discharged battery with

voltage at minimum set threshold of 21.9 Volts.

Recharge the batteries.

Error: SUCTION MOTOR SHUTDOWN

On display: 12 consecutive flashes of yellow battery LED ref. 1.

Brush motor shut down by power board, due to discharged battery with voltage at minimum safety

threshold of 21.5 Volts.

Recharge the batteries.

Warning: BATTERY CHARGER ON

On display: 7 consecutive flashes of yellow battery LED ref. 1.

Batteries charging warning.

Wait until batteries are fully recharged.

Information - I²T:

The overload error (I²T)is shown when the power board needs to deliver current that exceeds the set

maximum value.

ctivation of the power board shuts down the motor that caused the error, and is signalled by the

flashing of the LED on the instrument panel corresponding to the motor in question.

For the suction motor, the limit is 30 Amperes (exceeding 30A) for a maximum of 20 seconds.

For the brush motor, the limit is 15 Amperes (exceeding 15A) for a maximum of 20 seconds.

The problem can be reset by switching the machine off and on again. If the error occurs again, check the

Information - MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE ERROR:

The overheating error on the brush motor and suction motor power board is shown when the board

temperature exceeds the maximum set value.

ctivation of the power board shuts down both motors, regardless of which caused the overheating, and

is signalled by fast and continuous flashing of the LEDs corresponding to both the brush and suction

motor.

Information - SUCTION IN REMOTE MODE:

Can be activated starting from serial number 8000209102

Pressing the suction button ref. 4 for around 5 seconds, the suction motor will start without acting on the

brush control lever.

Information - ERRORS NOT DISPLAYED:

If the machine fails to start or the functions cannot be activated, without any errors shown on the display,

the problem could be due to a broken flat cable, a damaged display board or a short-circuit on the power

board.

In these cases to restore normal operation, replace the faulty component (flat cable, display board,

power board), which can be identified by inspecting the component visually, or replacing them one-by-

Information - SHUTDOWN ERROR:

If activated due to "short circuit" or "excessive peak current" detected by the power board, the problem

may involve the brush and/or suction motor wiring or motor power supply or the actual power board

itself.

In the shutdown error involves the motors or the motor wiring, the electronic control board stops the

function and signals the error via the LED on the instrument panel.

WARNING!

Go to the designated draining area and empty the

solution and collection tanks using the drain plugs

and the hoses provided.

Position the machine on a flat floor, and place wedges

under the wheels to stop it moving.

Switch the machine off and disable all functions by

pressing the “On–Off” button on the control panel.

Disconnect the machine’s electrical system by removing

the main fuse F1, or by disconnecting the terminals

from the battery poles (battery powered machines),

or by removing the plug from the mains power socket

(mains powered machines).

A1 MEASURING BRUSH MOTOR CURRENT DRAW

On the scrubber CS16, the brush motors of type battery versions and cord type

versions are very similar. Apart from the power source (24 V DC for battery versions

and 230V AC for “C” versions), the differences lie in the motors’ maximum current

draw and in the type of connections. The motors of mains powered versions feature

waterproof terminals to provide increased protection against electric shock.

A1.1 Measuring brush motor current draw on the CS16 Battery

1Make sure that the batteries on the machine are fully charged (24V ± 1V).

2Use a clamp-on ammeter with a full scale reading of at least 200 A (amperes) as shown below.

3Move the machine to the tank draining area, and completely empty the collection tank A.

4Make sure that the solution tank contains only a small amount of solution before you start.

5Move the machine to a flat, dry and smooth floor.

6Make sure that you have enough room around the machine to perform the measurement safely.

7Unhook the hoses and lift up and remove the collection tank Ato access the cables B of the brush motor.

8Set the clamp-on ammeter to measure amperes (A) of DC current, and clamp it to the red cable.

9Press the “On-Off” button to switch the machine on, and press button Cto switch off suction.

10 Pull in the control lever Don the handle. Read and record the current draw of the brush motor.
